Hi There,

My system has been absolutely tied up by my (not)friend Google-bot as they 
tried to scan my Internet fidonet nodes (geez :) ).  What a pia.. I took care 
of it as soon as I noticed it though.. Luckily, bbbs has a feature that lets 
you keep all connections or some, whichever you like, that try to tie up your 
tcpip nodes.. I have 7 each of binkp, www, telnet, and raw tcpip.. so the 
idiots at google-bot were trying anyway they could.. I laughed when I saw them 
try the port on 24555 (my bbbs binkp port).. still a problem because the 
attempt is made, but once I got their ip address in with the / at the end of 
the ip address to specify any port they used, that took care of it.

For those of you that use BBBS, and run into this, this is what I put in 
inet.bbb:

[bbbsd]

!ftp 66.249.65/$
!www 66.249.65/$
!tcpip 66.249.65/$
!binkp 66.249.65/$

Seemed like it should work fine, and it did <smile>

Take care,
Janis
